I liked the white too until I looked at the 360 of it and the rear fender is black...I get why they did it but it just doesn’t look right to me.

Sunset Orange and White will do well I believe.

Bronze i'm not sure about I'll have to see it in person.

I need to see the Orange / Black to see if it's Orange enough. Looks kinda red in the pics.

The final adjudicator on all things orange (ATO) is FireDood. So it's best to check with him for all final answers.

Here Here

It looks too red to me too and I own an orange motorcycle. Got no problem with red but don’t call it orange.

I'm with you guys, I think it looks awesome. Usually in person these paint jobs really pop so I'm very curious to see it up close, but if you're old enough to remember Hugger Orange on a Chevy Camaro you may or may not know that the exact same paint recipe in the Pontiac line was called Carousel Red. It was extremely popular on the late 60's early 70's GTO.

No answers here but something to ponder. lol

Kind of hard to tell but if you zoom in on the Orange/Black model, it looks an awful lot like 2 zip-ties on each side of the handlebars, as in external wiring. That would make a bar swap a lot easier but for that kind of coin I would want and expect to have internally wired handlebars. If anyone has seen one in person and I’m wrong, please chime in.

I like the black/orange color scheme but don't want the chrome. I'm thinking of ordering a white and a black one en swap the parts. Sell the white one with chrome.

Hdolfje · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2021, 01:16:07 AM »

White w chrome

Video lets you get a good look at the white version. Lays the crap on pretty heavy but good views of the white!

The "hand built" part of CVO production has not been the case for years now. Initially and for several years the CVO bikes were built in an old building behind the main production plant in York. There were a few years that some of us from the CVO group toured. Two or three person teams per bike with frames on various wheeled rolling carts with few modern tools, conveniences, or conveyances. It was indeed hand-built but it never struck me as "ideal" when compared to modern assembly standards. It did make for good press though and the people one could speak with seemed generally proud of their efforts.

That all changed when that production was moved to the standard line at York. Don't remember the specific year but more than a decade ago. That change brought its own issues. Specialty paint that was CVO specific not staying matched to an individual bike (mismatched bikes) and a few other interesting glitches. "Hand built" went away with that change though.

Spot on with your comments @Twolanerider!

SHRADER · « **Reply #21 on:** January 31, 2021, 05:26:14 PM »

I believe 2009 was the last year the CVOs were built by specific teams. Back in the day the bike moved from point to point along the assembly line and the team of builders moved with the bike until it was finished, then started over with another bare frame.

2009 was the last year CVO was built in a small building to the side of the touring bike line. A team of two built the bikes. I toured the CVO line that year, also had a 2009 CVO. In 2010 the CVO moved to the regular production line in York.

Very nice, that's the color I'd choose. I like the two tone (three tone?) paint job.

So clearly the H-D salesman doing this video still thinks 1 person builds the bike... So 11 years off my friend 😂😂😂

So how many salesmen for Harley have you met that know much at all about the bike they are selling? I'm really not surprised he did not know that practice was stopped 11 years ago.

Very True... I’m on bike # 26 and always know exactly what I want and how much I will pay before entering a dealership...
